The European Microwave Association

This paper reports on historical prospective on the establishment and purpose of the European Microwave Association (EuMA). The EuMC was first established in the fall of every odd year, beginning in London in 1969, then Stockholm in 1971, and Brussels in 1973. Starting with Montreux in 1974, the EuMC became an annual event and was organized with the support of a professional conference manager and combined with an exhibition of manufacturers of microwave components, systems, and test equipment.
